Rioting-the unbeatable highAdrenalin shoots your nerves to the skyEveryone knows this town is gonna blowAnd it's all gonna blow right now

Now you can smash all the windows that you wantAll you really need are some friends and a rockThrowing a brick never felt so damn goodSmash more glassScream with a laughAnd wallow with the crowdsWatch them kicking peoples' ass

But you get to the placeWhere the real slavedrivers liveIt's walled off by the riot squadAiming guns right at your headSo you turn right aroundAnd play right into their handsAnd set your own neighbourhoodBurning to the ground instead

Riot-the unbeatable highRiot-shoots your nerves to the skyRiot-playing into their handsTomorrow you're homelessTonight it's a blast!

Get your kicks in quickThey're callin' the national guardNow could be your only chanceTo torch a police car

Climb the roof, kick the siren inAnd jump and yelp for joyQuickly-dive back in the crowdSlip away, now don't get caught

Let's loot the spiffy hi-fi storeGrab as much as you can holdPray your full arms don't fall offHere comes the owner with a gun

The barricades spring up from nowhereCops in helmets line the linesShotguns prod into your belliesThe trigger fingers want an excuseNOW

The raging mob has lost its nerveThere's more of us but who goes firstNo one dares to cross the lineThe cops know that they've won

It's all over but not quiteThe pigs have just begun to fightThey club your heads, kick your teethPolice can riot all that they please
